A person can tell it like it is and still know when to talk, who to talk to, and when to be quiet. I can tell my husband what I think of some people, but I rarely tell them to their face (extreme anger). Not that I am two faced and lie to them. I just avoid people that are abhorant. I see more people kissing up to the nasty people so they don't become a target. I don't fear being a target, because the darts never stick. Its called social skills, not being nasty and safe venting.

So I guess it is fine for the bunch in the HOH to say what ever they want? The incestuous comments are sick and should be removed!!!!!!!!!!

I sure hope that BB/CBS has some kind of psychiatric recovery efforts. Watching TV night before last, Amber's sputtering rage looks like she might not do 'long term survival' - - after the show and her 15 minutes of fame are over. Lady from PirateMasters committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. Whatever the reason, Suicides don't make good TV PR, I'm sure. CBS are you listening?

Probably should have given the whole line from Dictionary.com, just to clarify: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/incestuous in·ces·tu·ous /ɪnˈsɛstʃuəs/ Pronunciation Key - Show 3. being so close or intimate as to prevent proper functioning: an incestuous relationship between organized crime and government.

It's all your (or HG's) ability to filter. As people who watch the show and feeds we see people differently, but it is seen though our own filters. Not demonizing anyone or supporting anyone.

We Tivo the Showtime feed and to be honest, I actually fast forward through most of the idle chit chat to see if there was any confrontation between Dick and the others. Dick is basically the only person in that house who is adding some spark and spunk to it. The others are all in agreement with each other so without him it would be a bit of a yawn-fest.

It's a different type of game play when you get personal, the way Dick has. I remember Mike's DR comments about Erika last year. He made some hard personal attacks about her but never to her face. Yeah, he never used the "c u next tuesday" word to describe her (correct me if I'm wrong) but he did say some very unkind and unflattering things about her. Is Dick's type of play different than Mike's because Dick is actually confronting people with his thoughts or is Mike's play better because he kept his assasination of people's character away from them?

"Besides being inflammatory to the nth degree, I'm mystified by his refusal to be a little less vicious (by sticking to more benign terms like "jerk," "idiot," "loser," etc.) and still getting his punishing points across." The hg are quite aware that bad language is beeped and they put in a string of bad language the clip is certain NOT to be aired on national tv. Dick knows that his rants are unlikely to be aired because there is so much foul language that cbs would beep every other word. Dick is NOT a smart player, he is a spoiled little boy that bullies when he does not get his way. He attacks peoples preferences and beliefs. The only reason he was put on the show is for good tv 'celeb rocker' 'father-daughter feud'. The sooner he is gone, the sooner the real alliances can be formed. I see an alliance between Jessica Zach Jen Jameka and Danielle. Dustin, Amber and Eric will be out one by one. Amber will be a backdoor because no one will be able to stand her on the block for a week. I am curious about the fact that Julie did not reveal the connection to Kail about Eric as America's Player. Wonder if she is actually the first player on the jury or if she is going to be sent back in???

I don't think Dick will be remember as a bad player, just my opinion. He has gone about it in a different way, but I don't see him as being worse than any of the HGs in the past who were, at the time villified, but since memories fade, have now come to be thought of as okay and not that big of a deal. While I don't care for personal bashing in the real world, whether I watch or read the live feeds (which I do both), I still think that BB manipulates that show, and if it suggests to people what to do in the DR and how to go about it, and if they were willing to set Eric up as AP, they set others up, too, but putting them on the show for specific reasons, and those reasons are better ratings and to stir up and be controversial. I think it all boils down to what BB is all about, and that is to do whatever it takes to win at the end. As long as the PTB don't throw you out, anything is acceptable to them. Bottom line, it's just like anything else in that if any given person doesn't like what is going on, they have the right to not watch the show or support the network. Noone is made to watch the show. Usually, as shown with BB, if there is one element that people don't like, they are going to still watch. Just IMHO. Not pointing fingers at anyone or supporting Dick.

Oh, I meant to say too... Even if any given person doesn't like or approve of Dick, the majority of us will still be watching and talking about the network and Dick himself and will be waiting to ese what happens next year and will most likely still come back again to obsess with our friends here at TVCH over this show...LOL. Thus, the network wins, and that is all they are after in the end.

I agree with Lard and fall into that age bracket as well. I know several people who "tell it like it is". They are not bullies, don't yell, or call anyone nasty names. They are straight forward and I respect that. I know if I had to be with a barking dog 24/7 it would get on my nerves. I would find it hard to block out and concentrate. I'm hoping that Dick gets evicted. Maybe then we will start to see some strategy since the barking dog will be gone. (I can dream can't I). Nancy - the Eric/AP twist was revealed to Kail on the Early Show.

Poppy says, "Thus, the network wins, and that is all they are after in the end." BINGO! Ain't that the truth! Controversy means more viewers which means higher ratings and more advertisers which means more $$.

Cheeky - they all do the controversial deal on their news shows, so thus do it on other shows -- it always amazes me how many people are sucked into the news shows and believe every word they say. Noone wants to do a little research and be discerning and want the truth behind the "network truth". They all [the networks - edited so as not to give the impression I am speaking of viewers] function in this way, don't they? And we all keep watching. And they keep making more money. Oh, and thanks for the props! I have been amazed over the years at how my posts seem to stop others posting on various threads - it has given me a complex ... LOL ... but obviously, I have gotten over it

Dick is the WORST player in Big Brother history. If not for Daniele winning POV that 2nd week, he would be gone and forgotten. He is over the top and a bully. He constantly says "Sorry" for things he has done. We can see why Daniele wants nothing to do with him. His behaviour is that of an immature 12 year old. His constant spitting in the yard is totally disgusting. I would hate to see his house and yard. Some Rebel, he seems to know about all reality series and South Park episodes. What 44 year old do you know who is so childish. Anxious to see him go however he was good TV as we love to hate him.

I love Dick. I think he's one of the better players ever. Why? Because he doesn't pull the baloney, fake, "I love you SOOOO much" garbage, doesn't slither around behind others' backs trash talking. Dick must may be THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER!!!

Dick will be remembered like Howie and Jase. Someone who like what they said and did or not, they made for some "interesting" tv.

I can't stand the tension ED brings to the game. we don't get to know the other people because he's always in the center of the scene.

What is the definition of a GREAT player? Is it only the winner who can be considered great? Is Dicks game play different than others? Does he know the game? Yes to both questions. Was Will really a master player or was he just in the house with idiots? Idiots. Whatever happens this week Dick managed to keep the target off him and Daniele and they BOTH stayed in the house far longer than most of us would have allowed. Dick will be remembered for simply being Dick. And I believe he is a good player. Poor Joe would have been a pretty good player had he not had the twist working against him. So much of this game is pure Luck that "good and bad" is all subjective.

its really funny to me how the poeple sticking up for ED, and think his In Your Face style is awesome, are some of the same people that complain and threaten to leave the board because there is ED bashing here. Now, wouldnt the ED negative comments be In Your Face, and therefore welcomed and appreciated?? I also think all the In Your Face supporters may feel differently, if they were the ones on the recieving end. Just sayin... I would hope that as a father, ED could come up with better ways to fight for his daughter..

I just can't imagine what it would be like to watch my father ranting like a mad man, with all the filthy language and even filthier and more disgusting threats. He could make himself obnoxious enough to be voted out without making a total *** of himself. If he's only a tenth as awful when he "tells it like it is" to Dani, that makes him a bad player in the house and out of the house.

He just told Danielle he got a warning for making sexually violent comments towards someone when he talked about performing anal sex on someone in the house until they bleed. Horrible game.
